Emotions in a Chicago Catholic church ran high Thursday when the Illinois State Rifle Association urged members to voice their opinions during a talk given by Father Michael Pfleger, who has been outspoken about the role of the NRA and gun dealers in Chicago’s gun violence.

Pfleger spoke at St. George in Tinley Park wearing a red T-shirt covered in photos of people killed by guns over his priest’s collar. The ISRA urged as many members as possible to attend, calling the talk a gun control recruiting event, according to CBS Chicago.

People seated in the pews booed and cheered the priest as he started talking. Many also heckled attendees that sided with Father Pfleger, who is well-known on Chicago’s South Side.

“I want people who own guns to be held responsible for the guns that they own,” he told the crowd in a speech aired by WGN, denying that he is against the Second Amendment.

That, presumably, is why you posted it. This is the press release at the time. beevul Jul 2015 #18

Puhleeze. beevul Jul 2015 #20

It's there, but it sounds worse when taken out of context SecularMotion Jul 2015 #21

The context - was an angry crowd trying to force their way into his store DonP Jul 2015 #22

It was over-the-top and the response comparing him to ISIS was over-the-top, as well. SecularMotion Jul 2015 #23

And your posts here are all irrelevant, lacking any form of insight and a petty annoyance DonP Jul 2015 #24

No thanks, your views on the gun issue are too far right. SecularMotion Jul 2015 #27
